Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) issues are the responsibility of the Clean Electricity Directorate in the Department.<\/p>
Since 2015, the Government has allocated up to approximately £11 million on a range of carbon capture projects supporting research and development in CO2<\/sub> storage, carbon capture technologies and CCS feasibility studies.<\/p> The following current projects will be completed in 2017:<\/p> <\/p> Additionally, the Government Energy Entrepreneurs Fund has funded approximately £1.6 million in support to innovative carbon capture technologies. Phase 5 of this Fund opened on 30 October 2016 with a budget of up to £9 million, which CCS projects were able to apply for. Phase 5 is currently going through the project selection process and the winners will be announced in due course. Further information can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/energy-entrepreneurs-fund-phase-5<\/a><\/p> The UK has also contracted with the EU to provide \u20ac5.5m to the ACT (Accelerating CCS Technologies) Co-fund project.
